Common Acute Low Back Pain Symptoms
- Sharp and shooting pain
- Rigidity
- Restriction of movement in the lower back

- Prolonged sitting is painful
- Not being able to get up
Causes of Acute Low Back Pain
An Acute Low Back Pain attack depends on several factors. When the joint chain of the lower back does not work together properly, this causes Low Back Pain (lumbago). A few examples of risk factors for lumbago include:
- Overburdened back (work / driving / tension)
- Moving the (lower) back incorrectly (for a long time)
- Sudden movement (bending or twisting of the back)
- Stress
- Doing untrained heavy work
- Poor physical condition (passive)
- Presence of a hernia in the (lower) back
Treatment for Acute Low Back Pain
Acute Low Back Pain often passes by itself, but that does not solve the cause of the problem. With acute Low Back Pain, it is wise not to seek out the pain, but to keep moving. The real problem is that residual damage remains, which can manifest itself as, among other things, ‘instability’ of the (lower) back or permanent complaints.
Several factors can be the cause of your (acute) back pain. For example, your daily lifestyle with incorrect use of your back can be the cause of your back pain. A back/spine expert will make it clear to you where your complaints come from so that you too can understand what the cause of your back complaints really is. Subsequently, a personal treatment plan will be drawn up that suits you.
